Osteochondrosis of the lumbosacral or other parts of the spine is something that more than 90% of people will have to face. In this disease, the intervertebral discs take the brunt of the blow. They collapse, going beyond the space allotted to them. This leads to pain as the deformed disc begins to compress the nerves.
Speaking not in scientific words, osteochondrosis is wear and tear of the spine. In modern life, there is a different load on different parts of the spine. Therefore, something wears out quickly (in -30-40 years), something slowly (in 50-70 years).
With sedentary work, osteochondrosis most often affects the lumbosacral region. It is about him and his treatment that we will talk about in this article.
Why is osteochondrosis inevitable?
The spine is structured in such a way that it can withstand enormous loads. But due to upright posture, he works without interruption all day. Plus, the slope instantly increases the load on a certain part by several times. And if you sit, leaning forward, then the spine is experiencing tremendous permanent pressure. And the person does not feel this overload. This is the first reason for the appearance of osteochondrosis.
The second and more dangerous is a spasm of the back muscles. These muscles are able to stay in a tense state for hours - for example, keep your back straight all day. Hands are not capable of such work. Try clenching your fist tightly for at least 10 minutes and then unclenching it. You will feel pain. And the back muscles have a different structure - they are tonic. Because of this, this area suffers from spasm. And he himself does not pass.
A person may not feel a spasm of the deep muscles of the back, but at the same time, foci of overload are created. At these points, the spine constantly pulls in one direction - down or in a horizontal projection. This causes osteochondrosis or scoliosis.
Osteochondrosis in the lumbosacral region occurs more often than in others. This area, first of all, suffers from overload during sedentary work.
How to be effectively treated at home?
Effective treatment of osteochondrosis of the lumbosacral spine at home is possible. It should be understood that this disease is chronic, and it will not be possible to completely get rid of it. But you can remove all negative symptoms in the form of pain, fatigue, and "forget" that there is this problem.
Also remember that before the age of 40, osteochondrosis appears due to lifestyle. And without changing your life, you will have to undergo therapy regularly - once every 2-3 months. The most efficient and cheapest way to do it yourself is at home.
The treatment should be based on the normalization of muscle function and their strengthening. First you need to remove the spasm (it is the root cause of chest osteochondrosis). To do this, you can use a set of exercises using an apparatus for complex spine correction.
The device is based on autogravity technology. Its essence lies in the fact that the force of impact is determined by the person's own weight. This allows you to exercise safely at home.
Exercises with the apparatus are relatively simple - it is necessary to lie down one by one with each spine on the apparatus and lie motionless for 3 minutes, trying to relax as much as possible. The whole procedure will take no more than half an hour. It is important to work out the entire spine, since only complex therapy can be effective.
The device relieves spasm, improves blood circulation and restores intervertebral discs due to 2 actions:
Activation of proprioceptors. It is the most effective muscle relaxer. Proprioceptors are active at rest of the muscles and passive at the moment of tension. That is, their forced activation makes the muscle relax.
Stretching the muscles and spine. The device lifts the spine slightly off the floor. This takes the strain off the intervertebral discs, allowing them to heal. The distance between the vertebrae increases, protrusions and hernias are pulled back. Also, lifting the spine allows you to stretch the muscles, which leads to their relaxation. The device is recommended by fitness trainers, osteopaths, neurologists and chiropractors. It is also actively sold in Slovakia, Spain, Mexico, France, USA, Czech Republic.
